-The written opinion of the supreme court, by Judge Pardee, concerning title to the Storrs Agricultural school property and forever setting at rest the legal quest ions involved, Is in substance as follows {:
 A portion of the property owned by the state was deeded by Edwin Whitney to the Soldiers Orphan Home, subject to the proviso that if the Home should abandon the property, the market value of it should be paid to the selectmen of Mansfield for the benefit of certain indigont theological students. The property was abandoned. and was deeded by the Home aud the se- lectmen to Mrs Whitney, who sold it to Augustus Storrs, and he deeded it to the state.
 The court holds that the state now has title to the property, subject only Co an iu- cumbrance in favor of the seleetmen for the benefit of the theological students to an amount equal to the value of the prop erty at the time of its abandonment of the Orphans Home not including the value of the Improvements made upon it, and this amount can be deducted by the court in the pending suit. .-... --
 The opinion is written by Judge Pardee, and the position is taken that if MT. Whit ney, instead of providing for the benefit of theological students, had made similar provision for his own family or relatives, the bequest as to them would be void. but being for charitable purposes the donation holds good. Judges Carpenter and Gran ger dissent. The chief justice and Judges Pardee and Loomis concur in the opinion.

 Of interest in this connection arc fol- lowing facts collated from laws relating Co
 ESTATES OF DECEASED PERSONS.
 In settling estates, are paid expense of settlement, funeral expenses, taxes, and other debts of the testator. Then, a sur viving husband or wife, if married on or after April 20, 1877, can have the use for life of one-third the remaining property, real and personal, even thongh will IS left directing the contrary. If there is no will, they take one-third absolutely, and if there are also no children, one-half abso. lutely. If married before that date. n widow, as against will, can take only her dover, that is, the use for life of one.third the real estate If there is no will. then in addition to her dover, one-third the per- so1at property absolutely and if no will and no children, one-half the personal property absolutely. A husband married before that time has only his rights ac. quired by the marriage, that IS, the fife use of all personal property, and if they have had child, the life use of all the real estate this last is called his te,tancy by courtesy. Dover and tenancy by courtesy take precedence of debts and ex- penses of settlement, but not of mortgages. The next of kin then inherit in the follow ing order: 1st, children or their descend ants; 2d, brothers or sisters of the whole blood or their descendants; 3d, parents 4th, brothers or sisters of the half blood or their descendants; then uncles and aunts, or, if none, then the next of kin in equal degree. If child, brother or sister of the intestate has died leaving descend. ants, such descendant takes the share of the deceased heir. This rule goes no further; if the nearest relative is first cousin, the children of the deceased first cousin take nothing, and if there are sey. eral cousins of one family and one of an- other, all being of equal degree, all share alike

VermOat's Present Prosperity,

Vermont is not suffering a {" dry
rot" from protection or from any
thing else. The practical experience
of her citizens in the past and the
present prosperity of her farmers
and manufacturers vindicate the
wisdom of the Morrill, tariff. Under
protection the State annually pro-
duces 100000 pounds of butter,
100000 pounds OF maple sugar,
100000 tons of hay, 100000
pounds of wool; it raises thousands
of blooded horses and fine sheep,
and sends to distant markets large
quantities Of choice fruits and gar
den products. Out of the millions
of acres of rich farm lands in the
State are raised products which are
annually worth more than $20,OOO,-
900. The quarries Of marble, slate
and granite are mines of wealth
which coin for their owners nearly
$5,0O0,000 every year. The scale
works, organ factories, wooden and
cotton mills and other industrial
works manufacture goods every
twelve months valued at nearly
$25, 100000. Here then we have
nearly $50, 900, in round numbers
as the value of the annual produc-
ton of the agricultural and indus,
trial interests Of the State. In this
connection it may be stated that the
banks in the State hold $4,000 ,OOt
of the wealth OF the people in the
form of deposits. Since the enact
ment of the Morrill, tariff nearly SOC
miles of railroad, representing al
investment of $40, 100000 have been
built. War taxes aggregating S.,
100000 have been paid. The state
is out of debt and the burden of tax
alton for the support of the State
Government rests lightly on the
people, the greater portion of the
state expenses being paid by the
corporations. Protection has greatly
benefited Vermont" Forbes" il

know what they are about. We
are too apt to treat a boys seeking
after knowledge as mere idle curl
osity. Don't ask questions" is
poor advice to boys. If you do not
explain puzzling to them, you oblige
them to make many experiments
before they find ont, and though eX-
perimental knowledge is best, in one
sense, in another it is not, for that
which can be explained clearly, does
not need experimenting WITH. If
the principle involved is understood,
there is no further trouble, and the
boy can go ahead intelIigently.
Do not wait for the boy to grow
up before you begin to treat him as
an equal. a proper amount of con
fidence, and words of encourage
ment and advice, and giving him 20

men have in the ability of the town
to provide for its present and future
wants, and croaking shall diminish.
And if people ARE Enited for the
town as they should be, they have it
in their power to double the value
of real estate in the village within
ten years. But this can only be
done, as we have said, 10y Increasing
its industrial income. The depend
ence OF the town has been upon the
railroad. This is a mistake. That
influence is good as far as it goes,
but it has its limits. Leaders are
wanted and they should not be
abused in their efforts to build up
and provide for the community the
means of living. Every man is
judged of what sort he is by what
he is doing. The farms of Frank
lin county are well handled and are
producing well. They can be made
to be more valuable by an increase
of legitimate industrial productions
in every manufacturing town.
Everything produced in the country
adds just so much to the county,
and no matter where. Our agricul-
tural interests can be made to pros
per better with manufacturing es..
Establishments in their midst. No one
is injured by the increase of legiti-
mate business anywhere, but all are
benefited. No family should desire
" black sheep" among their num-
Der. There should be no room for
jealousy in scheme where all are
enriched.

Collector Bradley B. Smalley and
Hon. Smith NJ. Weed spent their
early boyhood on opposite banks of
Lake Champlain, the former in Yer
ment the latter in New York, just
as they reside to-day. They went
to college together and exercised
their budding forensic talents by
pleading in the moot courts organ
lied by the students. On one &C.
casion of this sort Mr.. Smalley dila-
ted on the merits, virtues and re-
sources of his native State, Boosting,
among other things, that Vermont
gave education to New York. "Our
young men," he said, "are the mis-
sionaries who bring enlightenment
to the Empire State. Year after
year they invade it with the spelling
book as their weapon, and they are
the authors of it's greatness" When
Mr.. Weed got the ear of the court,
he grimly assented to what the
gentleman from Vermont had
claimed-but with qualification.
cit is true" he remarked, "that
these young men from Vermont do
come. They bring spelling-book
in one hand and halter in the
other. If they cannot get a common
school they steal a horse and return
home. This accounts in some mea-

Blodgett in relation to Memorial
Day:
In accordance with General Order
No. II, issued by the COMMANDMENT
Chief, Monday, May 80, will be
observed as Memorial Day by the
Grand Army Posts of this depart

true apprehension Of Memorial Day
and create IN us a sacred and
religious recognition of its meaning
it is recommended that all the Grand
Army Posts in this department at
tend, in body on Sunday, the 10Th
day of May, some place of public
worship which has before been
arranged, as the most suitable place
to prepare ourselves for the memor-
ial service; to hear words from the
man Of God, and take a new inn
pulse, and with stronger determi-
nation to go forth and do lifc's
great work; that i'll sincerity and
truth we may decorate our lives
with the virtues of Christian man
hood. Let us remember that this is
memorial-not holiday to engage
in the sports and recreations that Sc
naturally come to our minds when
we release ourselves from our ordi-
nary vocations. There are new and
fresh graves over which to spread
floral decorations by US who remain,
1t is a fitting time to remind our.
selves that fraternity is one of the
tenets of our order; time to decor
ate ourselves with that charity to
wards all which will cover the fail
ings of others, and that loyalty tc
God and our country which will
make us more worthy to be mem

Read the article and profit by it.
Confidence Is being restored, and
a healthier sentiment prevails as to
the future of st. Adams. AS an in
dlcation of this perceptible rise in
real estate is to be noticed within
the last year, and more frequent
real estate transactions. Within
six months after a purchase, we
know of one instance recently
where the purchaser was offered
more than 40 per cent increase on
his purchase. There is an increas.
ing demand also for residences in
the town which cannot be met. The
income to the town, which at one
time, depended almost entirely upon
the railroad, is being supplemented
by other substantial industries. The
progressive problem is simple and
plain; the salvation Of the town de-
ponds upon what it shall produce
and market abroad, to supply the
drain constantly being made upon

come from abroad to replace that
which goes abroad, else lack of cir
culation takes place in the system

Senator Blackburn of Kentucky
is convinced that Speaker Carlisle is
the right man for the Democrats to
nominate for President. He thinks
there will be trouble over the Hill
movement, and that, if that move
ment develops strength, the Demo
Gratis will act wisely to nominate
neither Hill nor Cleveland.

1t seems TO be pretty generally
conceded that speaker Carlisle was
correct when he said that most of
the Mugwumps were free traders.
With large number of them, that
was the real reason of their depar-
ture from the Republican party. and
the personal reasons which they put
forward were merely pretexts.

THINK on THESE THINGS.


THINK on THEsE THINGS.
Mr.. Gladstone recently attended
the American Exhibition in London
and in the course of some remarks
which, it seems TO us, are fraught
with much of great interest TO
Americans as well as Europeans, he
paid this country the following high
compliment. Among other things
he said he had become aware of two
things-first of the magnitude of
the destiny reserved for the people
of America; secondly, that the birth
of an American State was of more
interest than any other 1t was posi-
BILE to study. Whenever any young
man DESTROYS of studying political
life had consulted him as to the
course of study he should pursue in
the field Of history it has been his
invariable practice to refer him to
the early history of America. Now
the destinies of the States were as
suming such great dimensions that
the prospect of what was contained
in their future became an almost
overwhelming thought, but with
progress came responsibilities, and
the stronger and greater they be-
came as a people the more it would
be incumbent upon them to set the
world an example to be followed.
When Mr.. Gladstone advises Eu-
ropean students that American his
tory has an interest and Importance
greater than any other, what shall
be said of our neglect of these riches
and the failure of the public schools
to furnish adequate instruction in
regard to the nature and develop
ment of American doctrines? Ameri-
can history as usually taught pre-
sents catalogue of dry facts with
an admixture of Fourth of July
bombast, and the student is dismiss
cd without any of the comprehen-
sion of the spirit which animated his
forefathers few generations back
or Of the results which they accom-
plished. Little is said touching the
freedom of the individual and his
sacred right to his labor and its pro.
duets; nothing is done to explain the
vital relation between the citizen
and the State and to show just what
are the rights of ''life, liberty and
property" in a Republic where
privileges are equal and allegiance
is required only to the will of The
majority as formulated in law
When such instruction is neglected
at home 1t is hardly surprising tha
foreigners who come here sometime
mistake liberty for license, organic
class parties and trade conspiracies
invade the personal rights of indivi
duals, and even incite mob uprising
to overthrow law and destroy lif,
and property. Certainly when for
eigners turn to America for histori
studies of the greatest significance
it is time that all Americans SHOULD
be instructed in the sound principle
of Americanism, and all who hav
a taste for research should spenC
more time on the records of thei
own country and waste less follow
ing the vicissitudes of ancient mon
arches or the succession of Europe
an Kings.
